Why is it negative to be emotional?
As if we were meant to be unfeeling creatures,
Able to process life in commands and do’s and don’t’s
As if we were to be stiff robots.
To see all things objectively.
To see as one man, one mind.
As only one type of way.

To think not feel.
Why are emotions taboo?
As if emotions are a barrier for truth and resolution.
As if emotions get in the way of healthy friendships and conflict resolution.

Isn’t it what sets us apart from mere animals?
Or non-living things?
Weren’t our brains made to have emotional capacity, such as heartbreak, hurt, empathy, jealousy, hatred, disappointment, and forgiveness?
Don’t we have the capacity to feel and explore the reality of such things?

To figure out such things out?
Why are emotions such taboo?

What’s wrong with involving emotions in a conflict and express how each other felt?
What’s so wrong about sadness and disappointment?

Why must we push it aside, sweep it under the rug, hide it in the corners of our minds
And pretend everything is alright.
As if our emotions don’t have anything to do with our welfare.
As if emotions are the last thing to be cared for on this earth.

Why must we view emotions as such?

Can’t we deal with them, admit them, and work them out?
Can’t we express them?
Is emotion weakness?
But then why do we feel so much? From such a young age until our old age?
Why are emotions taboo?
They should be more revealing of the heart and mind’s condition.

They should be attended to and healed.
They should be expressed and reconciled.
And then we can be resilient.
